From John Darnielle. "For personal and medical reasons The Mountain Goats are unable to do the Australian tour as scheduled. The band wants Australia to know how much we regret this: coming to Oz is a big highlight of the year for us and we were really looking forward to playing these shows. We will make it up to you all!". For all us fans this is extremely disappointing news, but we also know that this band looks after their fans like no other, so lets wish the Darnielle family all the best and hope for a tour before the year is out.
